I'm starting to think we may (fingers crossed) have passed the worst of summer. Average highs will start to decrease in a few weeks (woohooooo)!

On another note, I have not ever talked on here about my career goals, but I am moving to Starkville, Mississippi on the 12th to pursue my bachelor's degree in Professional Meteorology at Mississippi State! So, while I will not be living in Texas, I will still continue to track weather and converse with the community, but I will be busy taking more than a full load this fall. It will also be fun to track tornadoes and other weather while I am living there.

Let us know how you are during each semester. You know we will live vicariously through you!
Will do! I feel like I hardly know what rain is, so maybe I will see a lot in Starkville. It definitely has been raining more there a lot more than here lately.
High pwats there than here.

I can't even get her to troll around here anymore. Not a drop in 33 days.

The vast bulk of the Eastern US even down the the inland Southeast areas (i.e. like Starksville), or even the Gulf Coast, simply happens to get help from midlatitude streams. Even if not a full blown front, then at least the disturbances/shortwaves/etc that trigger mesocale precip events (i.e. similar to spring weather systems in areas of Texas).

And based on what I see so far from the SW desert "monsoon", that mostly looks to be a mechanical interaction with all the orography in the region — I don't see much rainfall at all happening in lowland areas like Yuma as opposed to the mountain peaks.

The peninsula of Florida is the only true "tropical convective" region in the continental US. Even Texas performs better than much of the US in that regard, particularly when looking at "stalled" tropical events (i.e. Claudette, Allison, Harvey, etc).

Im liking what I see in the medium-Long range in the GFS, late next week it looks like the GFS has a cut off low drifting westward over the state!
